Pretty much all batteries are built by 2 or 3 different companies to the specs (cranking amps/reserve capacity/etc.) of the branded company that wants to slap their name on it.
Buy a battery based on specs & warranty.
I have a 2024 Badlands and would like to swap to the 26+ years because they have more poke +40 instead of +55). If you're in the northern colorado area and up for it, DM me. My wheels are pretty decent though have a couple minor scratches. We could work out a deal to your liking.
The factory jack is fine -- on a dead level surface. But it does not have the stability (sans modification) to be safely used if the vehicle is not on completely level surface. Off-road, you often without the possibility of a dead level surface.

It's not irrational. Diesel engines form the bulk of all fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution, which is very unhealthy to breath -- at any concentration -- as particulates that small enter directly into your bloodstream and cause direct damage as well as carry toxins that bio-accumulate...
This contributes, no doubt, but Toyota has a 40%+ market share in Japan, with most of the rest divided by a bunch of other makers that also are just barely starting to make EVs (even for use outside of Japan).

Essentially the only developed nations (and China, whatever development level you might call it) where EVs are not already the dominate new vehicle purchase/market share or soon to be there are the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Even many developing nations (eastern europe, south asia) have...
Hah! I had a similar experience with my Mustang when I first had it. I took it out on what I thought was a nice late spring day, but while on the drive it started snowing. When I got back home there was only a little bit of snow on the driveway -- about an inch. I tried going up, and no go. I...
I hate to break it to you, but any Ford product fits the definition of "throwaway vehicle after five years" far more closely than any Honda, including a Civic.
Somehow I have only ever driven anything but a 4/RWD vehicle with the exception of a few road trips/limited driving in other people's cars.
When my dailies didn't have winters (before I had the money to have such luxuries) I learned VERY quickly how to drive to not die in slick conditions with...
I have a 2024 Badlands, and would like to swap to the 2026 Badlands wheels for the wider offset. With or without tires (depending on tire condition/mileage)
Northern Colorado area I can pick them up.
